A good disguise is hard to find.
00:00
I mean that both literally
and metaphorically.
00:01
(suspenseful instrumental music)
00:05
MI6 agents often wear disguises to escape
00:08
life threatening situations.
00:10
Today I'm going to be
trained by an MI6 agent
00:12
on how to wear a practical disguise.
00:13
Apparently, sneaking around
the city wearing a couch
00:16
is both impractical and
something a (bleeping) would do.
00:18
Now, I've become a love seat.
00:24
(dramatic instrumental music)
00:27
What experience do you have
00:30
working for the British government?
00:31
25 years in the British Army,
00:32
five of which were in
the Special Air Service,
00:37
and 18 years in Manchester's
Secret Intelligence Service.
00:39
Your book says that you've been arrested.
00:43
You are clearly not in jail right now.
00:45
I was arrested for murder,
00:48
which I was subsequently
clear of, and released.
00:52
I was arrested for diamond
smuggling in Sierra Leone,
00:57
which I have not been cleared of.
01:01
I managed to escape from Sierra Leone.
01:04
What does an MI6 agent do?
01:08
I was trained in a number of skills.
01:10
I was a very well-trained
helicopter pilot,
01:13
trained free-fall parachutist,
01:18
infiltration and exfiltration
01:20
into hostile territory,
01:21
embark, disembark from submarines.
01:23
Surveillance, anti-surveillance,
01:25
and counter-surveillance.
01:27
Improvise disguises.
01:29
Not long-term disguises, but be able to
01:30
change your disguise very quickly,
01:32
so we could lose a surveillance team.
01:34
So, now I'm going to ask you a favor.
01:36
I need your help disappearing.
01:39
Will you take me under
your wing and train me
01:41
and treat me like a son and
give me all of your skills,
01:44
so that I can escape
a private investigator
01:46
who's following me?
01:49
It's not gonna be easy,
01:50
but we'll certainly give it our best shot.
01:51
For today's challenge I'm
going to learn lessons
01:54
from this MI6 agent and try using them
01:56
to escape a private investigator.
01:58
I'm going to follow your
strategy suggestions.
02:00
If your strategy is successful,
02:03
and I do a great job of listening to you
02:05
and wearing a disguise,
02:08
I would like you to write
a letter of recommendation
02:09
for me to work at MI6.
02:12
If your strategy does not
work, I will punish you.
02:16
I will make you write a 30 second song
02:18
in a musical genre you do not like
02:21
and then we will record a music video
02:23
of you performing it.
02:25
There's only one genre I hate.
02:26
Country and western.
02:29
Is it too slow for you?
02:31
No, it's just the pathetic
02:32
(eerie atmospheric music)
02:37
What do you think my
chances of success are?
02:41
90% that you're gonna succeed.
02:43
I think I'm 100% going to succeed.
02:45
OK, nothing better.
02:46
For the next two hours, the MI6 agent
02:52
will take me under his wing and train me.
02:53
I know everyone hates
school, so I won't bore you
02:55
with two hours of me learning (bleeping).
02:57
Instead, I'll show you a
three second training montage.
02:59
What you're wearing.
03:02
Yep, too much color.
03:04
I wish high school was only
three seconds of learning.
03:05
No one is in the room with me.
03:09
In all honesty, I'll show
the relevant highlights
03:11
of my MI6 training later,
when it's necessary.
03:13
Right now it's time to meet
the private investigator
03:16
I'm challenging today.
03:18
How many years have to been
a private investigator?
03:20
I've been a private investigator
for nearly 20 years now.
03:22
What does a private investigator do?
03:25
A private investigator can do many things.
03:27
I specialize in surveillance.
03:29
When people ask you
what your profession is,
03:33
do you say, I'm a sneaky boy?
03:34
Now I'm going to challenge you.
03:38
(eerie atmospheric music)
03:39
I'm going to give you
30 minutes to follow me.
03:41
At the end of those 30
minutes, if you see me,
03:44
you can touch me and I
will fall to the ground.
03:46
If at the end of these
30 minutes, you win,
03:49
I will give you my respect.
03:51
I don't need your respect.
03:54
If I win this challenge, I will punish you
03:55
by making you watch me
eat a bowl of cereal.
03:58
What kind of cereal?
04:00
Cinnamon Toast Crunch, baby.
04:02
Ken, I wish you the best of luck.
04:04
- [Mike Voiceover] Here are the
rules for today's challenge.
04:08
Mike has 30 minutes to escape
04:10
from the private investigator.
04:11
Mike cannot run away
or enter any vehicles.
04:13
After 30 minutes, Mike will stand still.
04:16
If the investigator
touches him, Mike loses
04:18
and he will shatter like ice.
04:20
(dramatic orchestral music)
04:22
The challenge begins in three, two, one.
04:29
(suspenseful orchestral music)
04:33
Once the timer begins,
04:45
I follow the MI6 agent's
instructions perfectly.
04:46
Never look down, because he will then
04:50
know that you're up to something.
04:51
- [Mike Voiceover] If
someone following me sees
04:54
that I know someone is following me,
04:55
they might speed up
plans to choke me dead.
04:57
It's best to assume that
everyone is following you
04:59
and go about your business
like it's a normal day.
05:01
What I'm trying to do is just
05:06
give him enough space,
where he's comfortable,
05:07
but yet also uncomfortable as well.
05:10
He's crossing the street, walking normal
05:12
like no signs of letting on to me.
05:15
I could see Mike, but I don't think
05:17
He's got the green light, so I'm gonna go.
05:20
- [Mike Voiceover] I march
up a long flight of stairs,
05:25
and enter a building
with unique architecture.
05:26
So I've already lost sight of Mike.
05:29
I feel what I need to do now is make sure
05:31
What have I entered?
05:35
This building happens to be my alma mater,
05:36
I emailed school officials two days ago
05:42
with an urgent request
to use their bathrooms.
05:43
They must have thought I was
another one of those kids
05:46
who graduate college and
then can't find toilets.
05:48
Thankfully, the Emerson security guards
05:51
let me in to their private restrooms.
05:53
I start taking my clothes off in
05:55
preparation for my disguise.
05:57
If you look closely, you can see that
05:59
my arms and legs have no hair on them.
06:00
The night before this
challenge, I spent two hours
06:03
Did I want silky smooth skin so I would
06:06
finally feel sexy for once in my life?
06:08
The reason I did this is going to be
06:11
revealed to you eventually.
06:13
Be patient and grab a licorice.
06:14
Could we get access to the third floor?
06:20
- [Mike Voiceover] As I change
into my top secret disguise,
06:30
I can't help but remember
what the MI6 agent
06:32
taught me about speed.
06:34
The art of disguise for
avoiding surveillance
06:36
is that it's got to be done quickly.
06:38
Maximum, five minutes.
06:40
- [Mike Voiceover] Five minutes
should be plenty of time
06:42
to change my appearance, right?
06:43
Since I was a teenager, I've had
06:45
extremely sensitive skin.
06:47
I'm not the Lebron James
of shaving my face,
06:48
and by that, I mean I
accidentally cut myself
06:50
shaving all the (bleeping) time.
06:53
So now that I know security's watching us,
06:55
I know he's not in the
building like screwing around.
06:57
So that really only
leads him to one option,
07:00
was he slipped out while I was on
07:03
the other side of the stairs,
07:05
and he slipped out the elevator, or
07:06
he waited for me to walk around.
07:08
If I do terrible razor work
07:10
and leave blood dripping down my face,
07:12
the private investigator
will spot me immediately.
07:13
My sensitive skin could be my downfall
07:16
in escaping this private investigator,
07:17
as well as why I never had
a girlfriend until recently.
07:19
Seven minutes in and I'm
only about 74% done shaving.
07:23
There's a lot more steps to my disguise,
07:26
so I have to abandon the shave.
07:28
I can't waste more time.
07:30
I'll never look as smooth as Pitbull.
07:32
The singer, not the dog breed.
07:34
The surveillant will be
focusing on your colors,
07:35
your size, your general shape,
07:38
your demeanor and your gait.
07:41
So, you change as much
of that as possible.
07:43
(dramatic instrumental music)
07:45
(moves into suspenseful piano music)
07:55
All my thoughts lead me to believe that
08:01
chances are he is in here.
08:04
I put on a lovely dress
and look at the time.
08:12
My transformation has taken
more than 10 minutes now.
08:14
This is (bleeping) embarrassing.
08:17
I don't want to disappoint
the MI6 agent today
08:19
like I disappointed
everyone else in my life.
08:20
The MI6 agent suggested I disguise myself
08:23
as a pregnant woman.
08:25
(charging orchestral music)
08:27
Before I leave the building, I remember
08:31
another lesson from the MI6 agent.
08:33
Change your gait as you're walking along.
08:34
- [Mike Voiceover] The MI6
agent suggested I alter my
08:37
normal walk for a
drastically different gait.
08:39
I showed him a special skill
08:42
I learned back in high school.
08:43
I call this the crab walk
and he calls me an idiot.
08:45
Then he teaches me a more
realistic walking style
08:49
Right, left, right.
08:53
Pretending to be
pregnant, and even harder,
08:56
happy, I start climbing down the stairs
08:58
It's time to see if the
private investigator
09:01
(suspenseful instrumental music)
09:04
Will the investigator believe I'm a real
09:16
happy go lucky pregnant woman?
09:18
Will he see my pathetic shaving job,
09:21
rip my dress off and tackle me?
09:23
Will he get jealous of
how good I look and decide
09:27
to get pregnant himself?
09:29
One glaring mistake I made while rushing
10:00
to put this disguise on is that I forgot
10:02
to zip up the back of my dress.
10:04
My bra straps and lower back are exposed,
10:06
like I'm a flirty, pregnant
stripper named Diamonds.
10:07
So, I'm about two blocks
away from where we started.
10:13
(moves into dramatic electronic music)
10:17
Victory belongs to Mike.
10:34
Because I'm not a
monster, I decide to show
10:36
the private investigator how I escaped.
10:38
(upbeat rock music)
10:41
Ken, you can look at me.
10:45
I was a pregnant woman.
10:49
I wasn't really paying attention to
10:50
the woman crossing the street.
10:52
I won, so I'm going to punish you
10:54
by making you watch me eat cereal.
10:55
This is a good box.
11:04
I decided to do a little
pre workup of my own.
11:05
Instead of watching you for the half hour
11:09
to two hours, I watched you for 12 hours.
11:11
I've got you heading
out to a little lunch.
11:15
Was this on Saturday?
11:19
- [Ken] It was Saturday.
11:20
- [Mike] You followed me (mumbling).
11:23
You went into the market.
11:24
I really couldn't figure
out what you bought,
11:26
'cause I was a couple steps behind you.
11:27
I call the MI6 agent who trained me
11:30
to tell him the wonderful news.
11:31
Your plan worked perfectly.
11:33
Oh, well done my son.
11:35
I told you we could do it.
11:39
To Mr. Alexander Junder, CMG,
11:40
MI6 Headquarters, London, England.
11:44
Dear Alex, recommendation for employment.
11:48
My good friend Mike Carrier.
11:52
The next time you see me,
11:54
I might be working for
the British government.
11:55
Oh, and one more thing.
11:57
The MI6 agent gave me permission
11:59
to release the song he wrote.
12:01
I hope you enjoy his music video.
12:03
Okay, so this is a little song
12:07
that my poppy told me
12:08
when I was no higher than
the raccoons (bleeping).
